Reviewing Racing Exhausts

Introduction

There are various types of exhausts but we’ll stick to the two main types so that you have a greater understanding of it. The two types are normal (street) car exhausts and race cars exhausts. They are both different and let’s see their main differences before getting to the review.

Normal car exhaust

The street everyday car exhaust has to adhere to the rules and regulations set by the government of the country in question about the exhaust emissions and noises. Your everyday car will have to reduce noise to a good dB and must also contain catalytic converters to do reduce gas emissions as much as possible. The bad or amateur position and bends can sometimes cause the pipes to crack under pressure and thus reducing power output and more gas emission. The exhausts’ length also add to their weight of your car, if your engine is in front which it probably is.

Race car exhaust

For the race car exhaust, the car body itself needs to be light, as this applies to its exhaust system as well. They are usually made of titanium so as to reduce as much weight as possible and also for the good properties of the metal in sustaining high degrees of temperature. They do not have any noise restriction meaning no baffles or chambered mufflers needed. Usually short and straight, there is practically no chance of back pressure. They can be custom made so as to fit the requirements of races and the race cars.

Now without any further ado, let’s review those racing exhausts.
